WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
Hell of a show at the Maple Leaf. Thanks @mclaincausey for the rec.
Johnny Vidacovich, James Singleton, and Michael Polara. Never heard anyone play the bass like that before.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
-
@Mizmazzle Vidacovich is a legend in New Orleans music. Has played with the best and he mentored the great Stanton Moore of Galactic, who now own the legendary venue Tipitina’s. I didn’t see any can’t miss shows there or I’d have included that in my recs.
Think it, be it.

That is super cool @twin. I'll be that apple butter smells amazing. Looks like a good time!
-
@goosehd Hey I've visited that troll under the bridge! about 15 years ago. It looks a bit ....different these days.
-
@mclaincausey Vidacovich was incredible! He played with so much feel and movement. Every touch of his drum sticks was like watching a painter create a masterpiece. Incredible. Today’s mission is to hit a few records stores and find some music on vinyl of singleton and Vidacovich. Morgan has a friend who lives here and is deep into music. He’s recommending Domino Sound and Euclid records. I stumbled into Peaches yesterday as well but wasn’t ready to buy anything. Today is record hunting day!!
Tonight we’re going to BJ’s at the Bywater to check out some Cajun music.
-
Nice have fun! I for one have a viscerally negative reaction, almost an allergy, to two forms of music that come to mind: Irish folks music (sorry, anncrstors) and zydeco. I really, really wish this weren’t the case but c’est la
me.Tipitina’s has been releasing vinyl. Be on the lookout for pressings. I could see them releasing an old James Booker album with Vidacovich on it or something like that.
-
@mclaincausey aren't you from the zydeco region?
-
@goosehd near to it, and also largely Irish. I swear I don’t hate myself
-
@mclaincausey I thought you grew up with a gator or two as a pet...and on St. Patrick's day, everyone is Irish
-
Had oysters and duck pate at Luke last night. Thanks @mclaincausey Then went to a show at BJ’s in the Bywater for some traditional Cajun music. This town is just so much fun!!! Maybe not the best for 25oz XHS and a lefty trucker…but fuck it. If they can do it in Indonesia!!!
Heading to the WWII museum today.

@SKT oh yes, nothing compares to everything being covered in white. Helped some stuck cars but other than that nothing dramatic happened.
@Mizmazzle that food looks amazing and I hope you enjoyed your Espresso Martini. One of my favorite drinks lately
@endo absolutely. Works wonders against the cold and i was positively surprised by how resistant it is to the heavy snowfall. Barely got wet… And man do I love the big hood and the huge pockets. An absolute essential already
